ABC/Rick RowellJoe Jonas is turning 29 and getting married...which means he's ready for a new home.

People reports the singer, whose birthday is on Wednesday, has listed his Sherman Oaks abode for $4.2 million. He’s lived in the four-bedroom, six-bathroom estate for about two years.

The modern farmhouse-style property features a detached guest house, an extra-long pool with a hot tub and a movie screening room.

Joe’s realtor Carl Gambino tells People Joe often buys and sells homes as an investment. “This is the ideal time to sell,” he says of the listing.

He adds, “It’s no secret Joe is a design buff and this home stands out because of the attention to detail that was placed in the selection of every single fixture, piece of furniture and art.”

Joe enjoyed an early birthday party over the weekend in Miami, People magazine reports. He celebrated with his fiancee Sophie Turner, his brother Nick Jonas and one heck of a bar bill. A source tells People that on Saturday night, when Joe and his party arrived at a club, they ordered more than $10,000 worth of Don Julio 1942 tequila, champagne and vodka.

ABC/Lou RoccoIt seems like forever since we've heard any pop music from Tori Kelly -- her most recent hit is the country duet "Take Back Home Girl" with singer Chris Lane. But now, Tori has revealed that she's coming back with "a LOT" of new music.

In a lengthy post on her social media, Tori writes, "I know I've been laying low for a while and some very exciting things have happened in my life. The crazy thing about songwriting is you gotta live a little in order to have experiences to write about, and you guys have been so patient with me...which I appreciate."

She then goes on to say that she misses her fans and performing, adding that she's excited to "reveal what's in my heart."

"I couldn't be more hyped to be writing this right now," Tori continues. "I've been working on a lot of new music....(a LOT)...and the first project I'm eager to share is something I'm super passionate about and have always wanted to do. I cannot wait for you to hear it."

Unfortunately, Tori didn't give us any details about what this project is, or when we can hear it -- but stay tuned.

Alasdair McLellanAdele took to social media Monday to raise awareness for a postpartum issue not many people talk about.

She posted the story of her best friend, Laura Dockrill, who went through a harrowing battle with postpartum psychosis after the birth of her son – Adele’s godson – six months ago.

"This is my best friend. We have been best friends for more of our lives than we haven’t," Adele wrote on Instagram and Twitter. "She had my beautiful godson 6 months ago and it was the biggest challenge of her life in more ways than one.”

Adele continued, "She has written the most intimate, witty, heartbreaking and articulate piece about her experience of becoming a new mum and being diagnosed with postpartum psychosis. Mamas, talk about how you’re feeling, because in some cases it could save yours or someone else’s life x.”

In her story, Dockrill writes that her doctor believes the traumatic birth could be what triggered the illness, which left her with an “overwhelming sense of fear and dread” and at times made her feel suicidal.

With the help of her family, a psychiatrist and medication, Dockrill is now recovering.

“You don’t have to brave it alone,” she reminds moms who may be going through the same thing. “You don’t have to act like a hero, you already are one.”

There aren't that many pop acts still scoring hits 25 years after they first formed, but The Backstreet Boys are one -- and their single "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" is their biggest in years. The group says they're lucky to have a tune that's gotten such a great response, given the fact that music fans don't seem to have as much patience as they did back in the group's heyday.

"Music consumption has a quicker turnover because there's so much content," Backstreet's Kevin Richardson tells ABC Radio. "Everybody's just consuming...'OK, I'm done with that'...it's just a little bit of a shorter attention span so you gotta be aware of that."

"You gotta make sure you're making great music, you gotta grab their attention quick," he adds. "It's been awesome for us to have a song out there that's resonating with the fans."

Another big change the group has noticed since they started 25 years ago? Who those fans are. Back in the day, the group would regularly perform for thousands of screaming young girls. But now, says Kevin, those girls have grown up.

"They have their kids at the shows now," he says. "Sometimes we have three generations at the shows. So we got mom, who was originally a teenager when we came out, with her mom, and then the granddaughter or the grandson. So it's pretty cool."

Backstreet Boys will return to the site of some of their biggest triumphs -- the MTV Video Music Awards -- on August 20. According to Entertainment Weekly, the group will serve as presenters at the ceremony, along with the likes of Bebe Rexha, Blake Lively, Lenny Kravitz, Keegan-Michael Key and more.

While everyone remembers the iconic video of Britney in a schoolgirl outfit, and the controversy over the song's lyrics, Britney says the song itself has simple, universal message.

“The whole song is about that stress that we all go through as teens,” Britney tells the U.K. paper The Guardian. The paper agrees, citing lyrics like "My loneliness is killing me" as examples of "gloriously [over-the-top] teen girl longing."

"I knew it was a great song. It was different and I loved it," Britney tells the paper. "[But] I don’t think you can anticipate how a song is going to be received.”

Nobody could have anticipated the reaction to "...Baby One More Time." According to the Guardian, the Max Martin-penned track sold 500,000 copies its first day of release in the U.S., reached #1, and went on to become one of the best-selling singles of all time.

"I think Max is a genius. It all just came together and felt right," Britney tells the paper. "In my opinion, Max is the greatest songwriter of all time.”

After his success with "...Baby One More Time," Martin went on to write or co-write more than 20 Billboard #1 hits, by the likes of Pink, 'N SYNC, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Kelly Clarkson and Britney's ex, Justin Timberlake.

Britney, of course, went on to become the undisputed Princess of Pop. Asked how she feels about the song nearly 20 years later, she tells the paper, "Wow, that went quick. It was such a fun and crazy time, it was a bit of a blur.”

Britney is currently on the European leg of her Piece of Me tour, which wraps up September 1 in Blackpool, England.

Fri, 10 Aug 2018 16:00:00 -0500http://www.q93fm.com/chr-music-news/fea8370f9522c6dc9085cc5cd5e7416e

Dennis LeupoldElle King has returned with "Shame," our first taste of her long-awaited sophomore album, and she says the song was inspired by her own naughty behavior.

"I was kind of a bad kid. I got kicked out of, like, every school that I went to," she tells Billboard. "I wasn't the parents’ favorite friend [for their kids], I was 100 percent a bad influence. I've always kind of known that. I've always gone harder than everybody else. Especially last year, I definitely went pretty hard."

The singer explains, "I hung out with people when I moved to L.A. that were an older version of, I don't know, my bad side. If I imagined the devil on my shoulder, grown up, I was hanging out with a bunch of them. It's undeniable fun -- you just have to know when to know when to go home and go to bed."

'''Shame,' was kind of a fun way to spin some of last year," she concludes. "You see the bad kids and you kind of want to party with them."

According to Elle, she'd already completed her record when she decided to add "Shame" because, she says, "I really wanted a song that was going to get people's attention. I wanted to come out the gate swinging."

So far, there's no title for the new album or a release date, but she tells Billboard, "I'm just excited to put music out in the world again. Not just me, but my whole band. We really put our heart and soul into all of this."

Unfortunately, it wasn't exactly appropriate for caroling.

Mariah's ex Nick Cannon tells Entertainment Tonight that Moroccan is now seven, but when he was around five, "He wrote a Christmas song and I was really excited."

Nick continues, "I told [Mariah], like, 'Yo, he told me he wrote a Christmas song,' and she was like 'Yeah, have you heard it?' and I was like 'No, why?'...she was like, 'Tell him to sing it for you next time.'"

Nick says when he asked to hear the song, Moroccan sang, "I saw your boobies on Christmas Eve, they were so beautiful, I didn't want to leave."

He laughs, "I was like, 'That's my boy right there!' I was like, 'This is the best Christmas song I've ever heard in my life!' No joke. And like, 'til this day, he sings it every Christmas!"

After predicting that Mariah would "kill me" for revealing that, Nick added that Moroccan and his twin sister Monroe do have some actual musical talent -- they both like to drum, and Monroe also plays the piano.
